I’m not b*tchin’ at you personally, AUG, but here’s my take on this situation:
“The Innocence Project” gave Steven Avery back to Wisconsin, who...the MINUTE he was out of prison, raped one woman (she didn’t press charges because he said he’s come back and kill her if she did) and raped and murdered another woman (Theresa Halbach) with the coercion of his 16 year old nephew...who is now also going to prison for a very long time. Nice family. *SMIRK*
Steven Avery AGAIN got Life with no parole for Theresa’s murder and mutilation (they burned her in the family garbage pit after gutting her like a deer) which is the best we can do in this state with our monsters; just as we did with Jeffrey Dahmer, Chai Vang, etc.)
Yep. We were REALLY glad to have that animal back on the streets of Wisconsin again. *SPIT*
Sorry. No love lost between me and “The Innocence Project” though I know you were making a VALID point that maybe, just MAYBE SOME prisoners actually ARE innocent. The Innocence Project will NOT be trusted again in this state for a very, very, very long time.
You DO realize that these cases are worked on by college kids studying to be lawyers, right? They have nothing to lose. Do you want a clueless bleeding heart 20 year old fighting to release prisoners back into your state? I highly doubt it. In fact, the way things are these days, you can’t find a “First Time Offender” committing a capital crime; they’re all old hands at it already, usually with some prison time under their belt...and released early by our various states, anyway!
If anything, this Duke case will go down in history as a total miscarriage of justice if Nifong isn’t hung from the highest tree in the Town Square. And no one was even tortured to death this time around...though lives were definitely ruined.
